If taking in an Iowa basketball game, this hotel will suit your needs perfectly. Easy safe walk to the stadium and you are permitted to leave your car in the hotel lot while you attend the game (even if you have checked out of hotel that day). Exceptionally courteous staff throughout the hotel. Nice pool and exercise room. Handy casual restaurant located within the hotel lobby.
